CALENDAR By Eric Oliver Enterprise Staff OCONOMOWOC — With the last weeks of summer on the horizon, the Oconomowoc Com- munity Center has tur ned its vision to keeping residents of Oconomowoc active into the fall and winter months. The Oconomowoc Com- munity Center released its fall and winter recre- ation guide late last week. Registration is already open and interested parties can register online, in person at the community, through mail or by dropping off a completed application into the community cen- ter's drop box. Registra- tion deadlines are a week before classes start, but late registra- tions are accepted if there are spots available in the class. Go to a p m . a c t i v e c o m m u n i - ties.com/Oconomowoc to create an account to register. The class offerings are for children and adults. Some highlights for children include lacrosse, flag football, soccer, field hockey, indoor soccer, kickball and basketball. There also are tennis courses for everyone 4 and up. Oconomowoc Commu- nity Center Program Director Jennifer Froem- ming encouraged anyone interested in taking a class to sign up. "I think the goal is to really stay active and find out what their child or what they enjoy," Froemming said. "If you never tried lacrosse before, what better way to start than with the parks and rec department and if you like it you join a club or team. Whatever your interest is." There are also multiple classes for adults only in the schedule. Highlights include strength and con- ditioning, Zumba, cardio kickboxing, yoga, PiYo and Barre classes. "We have a variety of fitness classes for adults varying from yoga to car- dio kickboxing," Froem- ming said. "We also offer nutrition education class- es. There are different ways from that respect to stay healthy." Froemming said the offerings the rec center has along with the parks spread throughout the community encourage a healthy lifestyle. She added that putting together the schedule is made easier because of dedicated class leaders who have been with the center for years. "Our kickboxing instructor has been here for 15 years," Froemming said. "She has a great reputation so people come back because she is intense. She keeps them moving and gets their heart rate up." Lisa Fugina is that kickboxing instructor. She started teaching the class after the instructor of the aerobic taekwondo class she was taking stepped down, and asked her to take over. She attributes her repu- tation to her tendency to be a perfectionist. "I can't just do a half- ass job" Fugina said. "I like to bring it every time." Fugina said a lot of people like her class "because it's fun, energet- ic and they really get into shape." "So many people respond and say 'Wow, look at the difference,'" Fugina said. "There are so many good benefits that come out of this class. Then there is the camaraderie. The people who have been there forever. It's just a good group of people. The classes are fun and they're not intimidating." Yoga, PiYo and Barre instructor Cindy Stark also has a dedicated fol- lowing. Stark attributes the success of her yoga class in particular to the yoga lifestyle. "Most of my students are the same students I've had for a number of years," Stark said. "Yoga grows on you. It's very subtle but it grows on you." A reputation for having strong leaders lends itself to the community and helps the community cen- ter offer a solid recre- ational lineup. When asked if Froem- ming had any recommen- dations, she couldn't name just one. Instead, she said, "Try every- thing." "Our programming, specifically our youth programming, is kind of set up for kids to try different things. We have a five-week soccer program that flows into a five-week tennis pro- gram which flows into a five-week basketball program. People can try different things. You don't have to be stuck on one thing." However, Froemming added there are longer offerings if a person develops an interest in a specific pursuit. "If somebody really enjoys tennis, then they're afforded the opportunity to do it all year round," Froemming said. The recreation guide is at the Oconomowoc Community Center, 220 W. Wisconsin Ave., or available online at h t t p : / / o c o n o m o w o c - w i . g ov / D o c u m e n t C e n - ter/View/2623.

Community Center set to spring into fall offerings Students affected by multiple sclerosis awarded post-secondary scholarships HARTLAND — Thirty- seven students will be attending college this fall with scholarships award- ed by the National Multi- ple Sclerosis Society-Wis- consin Chapter, including three from Oconomowoc. The scholarships are part of the National MS Society program to help students affected by mul- tiple sclerosis pursue a college or technical school education. It is open to individuals who have MS or have a parent with MS, and who will be attending an accredit- ed post-secondary school for any year of under- graduate study in work- ing toward their first undergraduate degree. This year's recipients include Oconomowoc stu- dents Alexandria Groth, Caroline Groth, and Colton Persha. Each student received a $1,000 scholarship. Applicants for the scholarship program must enroll in at least six credit hours per semester in course work leading to a degree, license or certificate. Students who received a scholarship this year will be eligible to reapply to renew their scholar- ship next year. The Society established its scholarship program 12 years ago. Applications are evaluated on finan- cial need, academic record, leadership and volunteer activities; a statement of educational and career goals; and letters of recommenda- tion. Applicants are also asked to provide a per- sonal statement describ- ing the impact MS has had on their lives.
